According to The Independent, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has been notably absent from the Trump administrations public rollout of Operation Absolute Resolve, the recent United States military raid that ousted Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro and brought him to New York on narco conspiracy charges. The operation, planned over months by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Central Intelligence Agency Director John Ratcliffe, and White House Homeland Security Adviser Stephen Miller, reportedly involved little direct participation from Gabbard in its planning, despite her senior intelligence role.

The Independent reports that Gabbard did not appear alongside President Trump and his top national security officials during the televised announcement of the operation from Mar a Lago, and she has been missing from conservative media outlets where other Trump allies have been celebrating the mission. Instead, Gabbard spent the New Year in Hawaii and stayed silent about the raid for several days.

On Tuesday, she finally commented. According to AOL News, Gabbard issued a statement praising the operation and aligning herself with Trumps framing of the mission, saying that the president promised to confront narcoterrorism, dangerous drug cartels, and drug traffickers, and offering kudos to American servicemembers and intelligence personnel for what she called the flawless execution of his order. That public endorsement marks a striking contrast with her past position.

The Los Angeles Progressive notes that Gabbard once strongly opposed United States regime change efforts in Venezuela. A resurfaced 2019 video shows her warning that the United States has a disastrous history of military intervention and insisting that Venezuela posed no threat to America. Critics now highlight what they call a reversal, as the same politician who urged Washington to stay out of Venezuelan affairs is now the nations top intelligence official defending a successful regime change operation.

The Independent also reports tension between Gabbard and elements of the Trump team over foreign policy. A former intelligence official told The Washington Post, cited by The Independent, that she has not been part of the inner circle for some time and described her as an isolationist serving under a president who is acting like an imperialist. Gabbard previously angered Trump by visiting Hiroshima last year and warning in a video that political elites were pushing the world closer to nuclear annihilation, comments widely interpreted as a veiled rebuke of the presidents posture toward other nuclear states.

These latest developments leave listeners watching whether Gabbard will continue to reconcile her long standing noninterventionist brand with an administration that is increasingly comfortable using military force abroad, from Venezuela to the Middle East, while she remains formally responsible for overseeing the nations sprawling intelligence community.

According to The Independent, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has been largely absent from public view in the immediate aftermath of the United States military raid in Venezuela, known as Operation Absolute Resolve, which removed Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro from power and brought him to New York on narcotics related conspiracy charges. The operation was reportedly planned for months by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Central Intelligence Agency Director John Ratcliffe, and White House Homeland Security Adviser Stephen Miller, with little role for Gabbard in the planning or the public rollout, highlighting her distance from President Donald Trumps inner national security circle.

The Independent notes that while Trump appeared at Mar a Lago flanked by Rubio, Hegseth, and other senior hawks to celebrate the raid, Gabbard did not join the event and did not immediately appear on conservative television networks to praise the mission, a striking contrast with other prominent Trump allies. Instead, she spent the New Year in Hawaii and stayed silent about Maduro until several days after the raid, when she finally commented online.

According to coverage from AOL News, Gabbard eventually issued a statement congratulating United States servicemembers and intelligence personnel for what she called the flawless execution of the presidents order, framing the operation as part of Trumps promise to confront narcoterrorism, drug cartels, and traffickers along with securing the border. This public endorsement stands in tension with her past record, because as The Independent reminds listeners, a 2019 video of Gabbard warning the United States to stay out of Venezuela resurfaced this week, underscoring how sharply her stance has shifted since joining Trumps team.

The Independent also reports that an unnamed former intelligence official suggested Gabbards exclusion reflects her reputation as an isolationist inside an administration that has recently embraced a more interventionist posture, from Venezuela to strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Her earlier criticism of regime change wars in Syria and opposition to actions like the killing of Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani contrast with her current role atop the intelligence community, where she is now tied to an operation that removed a foreign government she once insisted Washington should not try to topple.

As debate grows inside the broader Make America Great Again coalition about the risks and costs of a more aggressive foreign policy, Gabbards low profile and delayed response to the Venezuela raid are becoming part of a larger question about how firmly she supports this new direction, and whether her long standing noninterventionist message can coexist with the intelligence responsibilities she holds today.

ulsi Gabbard, serving as Director of National Intelligence, made headlines this week with a bold report accusing Obama-era intelligence leaders of conspiring to undermine Donald Trump's 2016 election win. Mirror Now reports that on January sixth, Gabbard named former President Barack Obama, ex-FBI Director James Comey, DNI James Clapper, and CIA Director John Brennan in allegations of orchestrating the Russia collusion narrative to delegitimize Trump.

Listeners might recall Gabbard's past criticisms of regime change wars, but recent events spotlight tensions within the intelligence community. Wesley Wark's Substack details how Gabbard fired top National Intelligence Council officials earlier for a report contradicting Trump administration claims on Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua ties to the Maduro regime. That declassified April twenty twenty five assessment found no evidence Maduro directed the gang to destabilize the United States, clashing with White House views on narco-terrorism.

The controversy resurfaced amid the dramatic US special forces capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife over the weekend, indicted on drug charges in New York. Times of India notes a viral clip of Gabbard denouncing past US interventions, now fueling hypocrisy accusations as critics question Washington's role.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum slammed the operation on January fifth, per the Los Angeles Times, warning it destabilizes Latin America and violates sovereignty. She rejected unilateral actions, urging cooperation over force amid Trump's threats of further strikes, including possible moves against Mexican cartels.

Gabbard's actions highlight deep divides in US intelligence over foreign threats and policy, as the Trump administration pushes its National Security Strategy to counter perceived hemispheric risks.

Tulsi Gabbard, confirmed as Director of National Intelligence on December 18, 2025, by a Senate vote of 52 to 48, has moved quickly into her role overseeing the nation's 18 intelligence agencies. According to Fox News reports from December 30, 2025, Gabbard issued her first major directive, ordering a comprehensive review of intelligence community assessments on foreign threats, with a focus on China and Iran. This 90-day probe aims to root out what she called politicized reporting from the prior administration.

CNN noted on January 2, 2026, that Gabbard met with President Donald Trump and key agency heads at the White House, where she pushed for declassifying documents related to the 2020 election interference claims. Trump praised her approach in a Truth Social post, saying she would expose deep state biases.

The New York Times covered on January 1, 2026, Gabbards criticism of the Central Intelligence Agency for what she termed wasteful spending on diversity programs. She announced plans to redirect those funds toward counterterrorism efforts against groups like the Houthis in Yemen.

On January 3, 2026, Reuters reported Gabbard testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee, defending her decision to fire three senior analysts accused of leaking to the media. She stressed the need for loyalty and accuracy in intelligence work, drawing both applause from Republicans and sharp rebukes from Democrats like Senator Mark Warner.

Gabbards tenure has sparked debate, with supporters hailing her as a reformer and critics, per The Washington Post on January 4, 2026, questioning her past views on Russia. Her focus remains on transparency and efficiency amid rising global tensions.

Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, faces intense scrutiny after United States forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in a dramatic operation on January 3, 2026. According to CBS News, Delta Force executed Operation Absolute Resolve, seizing Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, who now face federal charges of narco-terrorism and drug trafficking in New York. The Trump administration calls it a law enforcement action to halt drug flows linked to the Tren de Aragua gang, though it sparks global debate on legality.

ETC Journal reports Gabbard has issued no public statement as of January 4, 2026 morning, despite her office overseeing the intelligence that enabled the mission. This silence contrasts sharply with her 2019 social media post urging the United States to stay out of Venezuela, which resurfaced and went viral per the LA Times and Times of India. Lawmakers question why intelligence under her lead now ties Maduro directly to the gang, after she fired top National Intelligence Council officials in May 2025 for assessments denying that link, as noted by The Guardian.

Congress demands answers. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries called for immediate Gang of Eight briefings, according to CBS News. The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence schedules closed sessions for Gabbard on January 6 and 7 to address intelligence gaps, notification failures, and risks from Russia, China, and Iran, per its official calendar and Associated Press reports. Senator Mark Warner criticizes the lack of pre-strike alerts as a dangerous precedent.

President Trump stated the United States will run Venezuela temporarily and access its oil, while Venezuelas Supreme Court named Vice President Delcy Rodriguez acting president, creating tension. Gabbards briefings could clarify these volatile shifts.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently announced significant changes to the intelligence community's Foreign Malign Influence Center. According to Homeland Security Newswire, she stated that the center's functions would be substantially reduced, dismantling the last major U.S. government unit focused on tracking state-sponsored interference in American institutions, elections, and society. This follows earlier Trump administration actions shutting down similar efforts at the State Department, Department of Homeland Security, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Department of Justice.

Gabbard has also taken a firm stance on foreign policy narratives. Ground News reports she denied a Reuters article claiming Russian President Vladimir Putin plans to seize all of Ukraine and parts of Europe, calling it false propaganda in a post on X. Voennoedelo notes she described such Western assessments as misleading, prompting some Europeans to rethink long-held views on Russia threats. Al Jundi highlights her declaration that the era of U.S. regime change and nation-building policies has ended under President Trump, arguing those approaches created more enemies than allies at great cost.

In national security strategy shifts, Al Jundi details Gabbard's alignment with the December 2025 U.S. National Security Strategy, which embraces offshore balancing and realist principles over global hegemony. She emphasized protecting core U.S. interests like border security and avoiding overreach.

Gabbard warned about Islamist ideology threatening Western freedoms in a recent America Fest speech, per Ground News. She also criticized Democrat Representative Bennie Thompson for comments on a West Virginia National Guard shooting incident, as reported by AOL.

The Telegraph reveals a poll naming Gabbard as Republicans' top pick for their first female president.

These moves reflect Gabbard's role in reshaping U.S. intelligence priorities amid evolving global threats.

Tulsi Gabbard, who serves as Director of National Intelligence under President Trump, has been at the center of significant developments over the past several days. According to multiple news sources, Gabbard recently escalated claims against Obama-era intelligence leadership, alleging they orchestrated a conspiracy to delegitimize Trump's 2016 victory. In her new report, Gabbard directly names former President Barack Obama, former FBI Director James Comey, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and former CIA Director John Brennan in connection with these allegations.

Gabbard's tenure as DNI has been marked by considerable activity on foreign policy matters. According to the Los Angeles Times, Trump's director of national intelligence has dismissed intelligence agency assessments regarding Russia's war aims in Ukraine as products of deep state warmongers within the intelligence community. These assessments had indicated that Russian President Vladimir Putin's revanchist war aims remain focused on conquering all of Ukraine and reclaiming parts of Europe that were once part of the Soviet empire.

The former Democratic representative from Hawaii, who switched to the Republican Party late in the 2024 campaign, has also recently testified before the House Intelligence Committee alongside CIA Director John Ratcliffe. According to CBS News, both officials returned to Capitol Hill to address lawmakers regarding recent controversies involving the Trump administration's national security team.

One significant issue involved discussions of sensitive military operations on a non-government approved messaging application. Democratic and Republican lawmakers in Congress have called for an official investigation into what occurred when a reporter was inadvertently added to a group chat where national security officials were discussing planned military strikes against Houthi rebels. CBS News reports that the heads of the Senate Armed Services Committee requested an inspector general investigation into the use of the Signal messaging app for these sensitive military discussions.

Gabbard's appointment as DNI came after she was initially considered for the positions of Defense Secretary and CIA Director. Her critics have raised concerns about her meetings with Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad and her opposition to U.S. involvement in the Ukraine-Russia conflict, noting that these positions may put her at odds with more than half of Senate Republicans who previously voted to support Ukraine assistance.

Tulsi Gabbard, who serves as Director of National Intelligence in the Trump administration, has been at the center of significant developments over the past few days. According to reporting, Gabbard has escalated claims against Obama era intelligence leadership, alleging they orchestrated a conspiracy to delegitimize Donald Trump's 2016 victory. In her new report, Gabbard directly names former President Barack Obama, ex FBI Director James Comey, DNI James Clapper, and CIA Director John Brennan.

Gabbard was confirmed as Director of National Intelligence after Trump announced her nomination, a position that oversees America's 17 intelligence agencies. Her path to this role was notable given her history as a former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii and vice chair of the Democratic National Committee before switching to the Republican Party in late 2024.

On Capitol Hill, Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe recently testified before the House Intelligence Committee regarding sensitive matters affecting the intelligence community. This testimony came as the Trump administration's national security team faced scrutiny over the use of non government approved messaging apps to discuss classified military operations.

Gabbard's role has also intersected with ongoing diplomatic tensions regarding Ukraine. According to reporting from the Los Angeles Times, Gabbard has dismissed intelligence assessments about Russia's war aims as products of so called deep state warmongers within the intelligence community. These assessments indicate that Vladimir Putin's revanchist goals remain unchanged, seeking to conquer all of Ukraine and reclaim parts of Europe once held by the Soviet Union.

Earlier in December, Gabbard criticized a Democratic representative for calling a DC National Guard incident an unfortunate accident, expressing frustration on social media about the characterization.

Gabbard's tenure as Director of National Intelligence has proven contentious among some lawmakers. During her confirmation process, critics pointed to her 2017 meeting with Syrian President Bashar al Assad and her hardline stance against US involvement in the Ukraine Russia war as potentially disqualifying. Her positions have placed her at odds with more than half of Senate Republicans who supported 60 billion dollars in aid to Ukraine in the spring.

The former four term congresswoman continues to shape intelligence policy during a pivotal moment in American foreign relations, particularly regarding the war in Ukraine and relationships with Russia.

Tulsi Gabbard has spent the past few days at the center of a storm over her use of the office of Director of National Intelligence to revisit battles from the Trump Russia era and to frame recent political violence as a national security turning point.

Indian public broadcaster Doordarshan News reports that Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman who later became a Republican, was appointed Director of National Intelligence by President Donald Trump after his 2024 election victory, with Trump praising her as a fearless defender of civil liberties and strong intelligence reform.[Doordarshan News] That background helps explain why her latest moves are drawing intense attention.

According to the Times Now coverage of a recent Washington briefing, Gabbard has released a new report accusing key Obama era intelligence and law enforcement leaders of orchestrating what she calls a coordinated effort to delegitimize Trumps 2016 win.[Times Now] In that report and in televised comments, she names former President Barack Obama, former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and former Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan as central figures in what she characterizes as an abuse of surveillance authorities and politicization of intelligence to fuel the original Russia collusion narrative.[Times Now]

Times Now notes that Gabbard has urged the Justice Department and Congress to pursue criminal accountability where appropriate, saying no official, including a former president, is above the law.[Times Now] Her remarks have fueled speculation about whether her findings could underpin future indictments, a prospect that supporters frame as long overdue while critics warn it risks turning intelligence oversight into a tool of partisan retribution.

Domestic reaction has been divided. The Washington Examiner, in a broader review of the current Trump cabinet, describes Gabbard as one of the more influential national security voices, noting that she has been deeply involved in after action reviews of earlier scandals, including a controversial encrypted messaging group where senior officials discussed military strikes.[Washington Examiner] Allies inside the administration tell the Examiner that Trump values her willingness to challenge what she calls the security state, while some lawmakers from both parties are privately questioning whether her rhetoric about treason and conspiracy could further erode trust in the intelligence community.

Separately, AOL News reports that at a recent memorial event for slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Gabbard compared the impact of his killing on the conservative movement to how the terrorist attacks of September eleven reshaped the entire country.[AOL News] She argued that the assassination should be treated as a wake up call about escalating political violence and what she describes as a growing permissiveness toward attacks on Trump supporters.[AOL News] Critics have called the comparison inflammatory, but it underscores how she is merging her intelligence role with a broader narrative about domestic extremism and political targeting.

As these stories develop, listeners can expect more clashes between Gabbard and former intelligence officials, as well as new debates in Congress over how far a Director of National Intelligence should go in publicly revisiting past investigations.

Tulsi Gabbard, serving as Director of National Intelligence, has dominated headlines in recent days with explosive revelations about alleged misconduct by former President Barack Obama and his administration. According to Times Now reports from December 27, 2025, Gabbard made a major announcement declassifying documents that she claims expose a treasonous conspiracy to undermine Donald Trump's 2016 election victory. She alleges that Obama-era officials, including James Clapper, John Brennan, and Susan Rice, fabricated evidence of Russian interference after Trump's win, leading to investigations like the Mueller probe and what Gabbard calls a years-long coup attempt.

President Trump amplified these claims during a White House press conference on July 22, accusing Obama directly of treason and stating the proof is irrefutable, as detailed by National Herald India. Trump praised Gabbard for releasing the documents, vowing to pursue justice through the Department of Justice. Obama's office dismissed the accusations as ridiculous distractions, per the same source.

YouTube channels like Times Now and others covered live updates on potential arrests stemming from Gabbard's findings, with headlines questioning if Obama faces jail time. DD News reported Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman congratulating Gabbard on her appointment, highlighting her 21 years of Army Reserve service as a Lieutenant Colonel and her clarity of thought.

Gabbard also spoke at a memorial, comparing the killing of conservative figure Charlie Kirk to the September 11 attacks, according to AOL news, underscoring her strong stance on national security threats.

These developments highlight Gabbard's aggressive push for transparency in the intelligence community amid Trump's second term.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently stirred debate with bold statements on national security threats and extraterrestrial possibilities. In a Pod Force One podcast interview with host Miranda Devine, as reported by IMDb and Uinterview on August tenth, two thousand twenty-five, Gabbard affirmed her personal belief in aliens. She referenced declassified videos of unidentified flying objects but declined to share specifics, promising to continue seeking and sharing the truth with Americans.

Gabbard also discussed her past experiences on the Transportation Security Administration watchlist, enduring federal surveillance at airports, according to an AOL report. This revelation highlights ongoing tensions in intelligence oversight.

At the Turning Point USA All In Summit on September eighth, two thousand twenty-five, per the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and Washington Examiner coverage, Gabbard declared Islamist ideology the greatest near and long term threat to American freedom and security. She argued it rejects individual liberty and God's bestowed rights, invoking nine eleven attacks and criticizing groups like the Council on American Islamic Relations for promoting Sharia law. The Washington Examiner countered that the Chinese Communist Party poses a bigger danger through economic, cyber, and military means, including influence over companies like Nvidia and TikTok.

Additionally, AOL reported Gabbard retracted an intelligence assessment on Trump administration dealings with Venezuela, sparking questions about internal decisions.

These developments underscore Gabbard's assertive approach to intelligence leadership amid partisan divides.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently stirred debate by expressing belief in aliens and committing to share the truth with Americans. According to Uinterview, during her appearance on the Pod Force One podcast on August tenth, twenty twenty-five, host Miranda Devine asked about proof of unidentified flying objects. Gabbard referenced declassified strange videos but said nothing she was prepared to discuss then. She affirmed her personal belief in aliens and vowed to continue seeking and sharing the truth with the public.

Gabbard also retracted an intelligence report on the Trump administrations dealings with the Venezuelan government, as reported by AOL. Separately, AOL noted that leading Intelligence Committee Democrats are pressing Gabbard on Trump administration boat strikes in the Caribbean that have killed people, accusing the administration of keeping them uninformed.

At a Turning Point USA event last week, Gabbard declared Islamist ideology the greatest near and long-term threat to American freedom and security, according to the Washington Examiner and Mondoweiss. She invoked the nine eleven attacks, claimed the Council on American Islamic Relations seeks to impose Sharia law, and said this ideology denies God-given freedoms. The Washington Examiner critiqued her view, arguing the Chinese Communist Party poses a greater threat due to its economic, cyber, and military capabilities. Mondoweiss reported the Council on American Islamic Relations condemned her remarks as anti-Muslim bigotry, demanding an apology or resignation.

These statements highlight Gabbards focus on national security priorities amid partisan tensions.

Tulsi Gabbard, the newly appointed Director of National Intelligence, has made significant waves in her first weeks in office with controversial statements about Russia and Ukraine, as well as decisions targeting transnational criminal organizations.

Most recently, Gabbard has publicly disputed intelligence assessments from Western officials regarding Russia's intentions in Ukraine. According to reports from December 22, 2025, she stated that U.S. intelligence assessments indicate Russia seeks to avoid a larger war with NATO and lacks the capability to conquer and occupy Ukraine. This position directly contradicts warnings from other Western intelligence officials who have cautioned that Russia is prolonging the conflict.

At a Turning Point USA event, Gabbard made sharp criticisms of those she says are undermining peace efforts. She accused the European Union and NATO of attempting to push the United States into direct conflict with Russia while sabotaging negotiations. She claimed that deep state forces within the intelligence community are weaponizing intelligence to undermine progress toward ending the war. These remarks drew backing from Russia's envoy, who praised her for challenging what he called war-driven narratives.

On the counterterrorism front, Gabbard has directed the National Counterterrorism Center to intensify operations against drug traffickers and criminal organizations. Following President Trump's designation of cartels and transnational gangs as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, she directed resources toward targeting these groups. This effort resulted in the arrest of Alfredo Ezequiel Galaviz Jr. in Mexico on December 5, 2025, a member of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel wanted for murder and drug trafficking.

However, Gabbard has also drawn criticism from civil rights organizations. The New Jersey chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations strongly condemned her December 20 speech at Turning Point USA, where she made claims about Muslims in Paterson allegedly plotting to impose Sharia law. The organization called her attacks delusional and dangerous, stating she falsely conflated an entire faith community with terrorism and violence.

Her appointment as Director of National Intelligence was announced by President Trump following his election victory, with the president praising her two decades of military service as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army Reserve. Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman of India also extended congratulations, noting her impressed by Gabbard's clarity of thought and dedication.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has made headlines in the past few days with bold statements on global conflicts and domestic security. At a Turning Point USA event on December 20, according to The Economic Times, Gabbard accused the European Union and NATO of spreading warmongers propaganda to draw the United States into direct conflict with Russia over Ukraine. She stated that United States intelligence assessments show Russia lacks the capability to conquer Ukraine or invade Europe, contradicting claims from European leaders and NATO. Gabbard blamed deep state elements in the intelligence community for leaking information to undermine President Trumps peace efforts in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. Russias envoy praised her remarks on X, calling them a challenge to war-driven narratives.

On counterterrorism, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence announced on December 22 that Gabbards direction to the National Counterterrorism Center enabled the arrest of Alfredo Ezequiel Galaviz Junior in Chihuahua City, Mexico, on December 5. Homeland Security Today reports Galaviz, linked to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, was wanted for murder in Texas and trafficking drugs and humans. NCTC Director Joe Kent credited Gabbards leadership and President Trumps designation of cartels as foreign terrorist organizations for intensifying these operations.

Gabbards Turning Point USA speech also sparked controversy. CAIR-New Jersey condemned her on December 22 for claiming Muslims in Paterson, New Jersey, are plotting to impose sharia law through laws or violence, calling it delusional and dangerous fearmongering that conflates the community with terrorism.

Western intelligence officials, per Homeland Security Today, warn Russia is prolonging the Ukraine war amid stalled peace talks in Miami, but Gabbard disputed this, saying Russia seeks to avoid wider NATO conflict.

These developments highlight Gabbards focus on peace, border security, and perceived threats.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard made headlines this weekend by sharply denying a Reuters report that claimed US intelligence warned Russian President Vladimir Putin aims to seize all of Ukraine and parts of former Soviet Europe. According to the Washington Examiner, Gabbard called the claims from anonymous sources deep state warmongers pushing propaganda to undermine President Trumps peace efforts in Ukraine. She posted on X that US intelligence actually assesses Russia lacks the capability to conquer even Ukraine, let alone invade Europe, and seeks to avoid wider war with NATO.

The denial drew praise from Putin envoy Kirill Dmitriev, who echoed her on X, calling her a voice of reason against anti-Russian paranoia. This comes as talks resumed in Miami on Saturday, with Dmitriev meeting Trumps Middle East special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Dmitriev described discussions as constructive, though sticking points remain for Sunday negotiations on Trumps 28-point peace plan.

On Saturday, Gabbard spoke at Turning Point USAs AmericaFest conference, warning that Islamist ideology poses a direct threat to Western freedom and liberty. Fox News reports she said the political ideology, which fuels groups like al-Qaeda, ISIS, Hamas, and Boko Haram, rejects individual rights and seeks a global caliphate. She noted cancellations of Christmas markets in Germany due to threats and urged defeating it militarily while countering deep state efforts to perpetuate wars, citing President Eisenhowers military-industrial complex warning. Kyiv Post coverage highlights her view contradicting European and NATO assessments on Russias Ukraine capabilities.

Gabbard stressed Trumps push to end the Russia-Ukraine war faces sabotage through leaked intelligence and fearmongering to drag the US into direct conflict.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard made headlines this weekend by sharply denying a Reuters report that claimed U.S. intelligence warned Russian President Vladimir Putin aims to seize all of Ukraine and parts of former Soviet Europe. According to the Washington Examiner, Gabbard called the claims from six anonymous sources propaganda pushed by deep state warmongers to undermine President Trumps peace efforts in Ukraine. She stated on X that U.S. intelligence actually assesses Russia lacks the capability to conquer even Ukraine, let alone invade Europe, and seeks to avoid wider war with NATO. Pravda reports Gabbard labeled the Reuters story a lie designed to block peace talks and stir hysteria for escalation.

Her rebuttal drew praise from Putin envoy Kirill Dmitriev on X, who hailed her for exposing efforts to incite World War Three through anti-Russian fear. This comes as Trump administration talks resumed in Miami, with Dmitriev meeting special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on Saturday. Dmitriev described discussions as constructive, though sticking points remain for Sunday negotiations on Trumps 28-point peace plan.

On Saturday, Gabbard spoke at Turning Point USAs AmericaFest conference, warning that Islamist ideology poses a direct threat to Western freedom and security.

She noted cancellations of Christmas markets in Germany due to threats and urged defeating it militarily while calling out deep state tactics that weaponize intelligence to prolong wars, echoing President Eisenhowers military-industrial complex warning. Kyiv Post notes her view contradicts European and NATO assessments on Russias Ukraine capabilities.

Gabbard tied these issues to Trumps push for peace, stressing the need to end bloodshed without U.S. troops entering direct conflict with Russia.

Tulsi Gabbard, recently appointed as United States Director of National Intelligence by President Donald Trump, has made headlines with strong statements on global security threats. DD News reports that Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman congratulated Gabbard on her new role, praising her 21 years of service in the United States Army Reserve where she rose to Lieutenant Colonel. Sitharaman noted Gabbards clarity of thought and dedication from their interactions.

In the last few days, Gabbard responded forcefully to the December 14 Bondi Beach attack in Australia during a Hanukkah celebration. New India Abroad states that Gabbard called it a tragic Islamist terror attack, linking it to a massive influx of Islamists aiming to Islamize Australia and beyond. She declared on social media that Islamists and Islamism represent the greatest threat to the freedom, security, and prosperity of the United States and the world.

Tulsi Gabbard, as Director of National Intelligence, recently warned about national security risks from Afghan refugees and criticized Democrats over surveillance issues. On December 12, she stated that at least two thousand of more than one hundred thousand Afghan refugees who entered the United States are linked to terrorist groups, according to the South Asia Terrorism Portal. She described suspected terrorists now living in the country as a direct threat, as reported by Fox News on December 13.

These comments come amid heated debates in Congress over warrantless surveillance powers under Section seven zero two of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. A House Judiciary Committee hearing on December 11 highlighted concerns about intelligence agencies searching Americans communications without warrants, with witnesses urging stricter rules. Military.com coverage noted Gabbards office transparency reports showing over thirteen thousand searches in twenty twenty-four targeting Americans data.

Gabbard also clashed publicly with Democrat Bennie Thompson, blasting him for calling national something, per AOL articles. Tensions within the intelligence community persist, including a deepening rift with CIA Director John Ratcliffe over Venezuela policy, as detailed by Intelligence Online. Her office faces internal challenges too, such as lacking a military adviser amid rising Caribbean tensions from drug traffickers and Venezuelan pressures.

Earlier in March, Gabbard met Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh in New Delhi to strengthen bilateral ties, focusing on defense innovation, information sharing, and supply chain integration, according to the Press Information Bureau of India.

These developments underscore Gabbards focus on counterterrorism, foreign threats, and intelligence reforms under the Trump administration.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently warned about a direct threat from around eighteen thousand known or suspected terrorists living in the United States. According to Fox News, she blamed the Biden administration for vetting failures that allowed these individuals into the country, including two thousand Afghan nationals admitted after the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan. Gabbard shared this during a Fox News interview on Friday, following a House Homeland Security Committee hearing where Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem raised similar national security concerns.

Gabbard highlighted whistleblower accounts from the vetting process, where officials were reportedly ordered to rush checks on Afghan evacuees. She linked this to real dangers, citing the shooting of two National Guard soldiers near the White House just before Thanksgiving, where the suspected shooter was an Afghan national named Rahmanullah Lakanwal. One soldier died, and the incident is under investigation as a possible terror attack, as reported by Black Chronicle and Fox News.

In response, Gabbard said the National Counterterrorism Center, working with the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, plans to re-vet every Afghan admitted under the prior administration. She emphasized ongoing plots by al Qaeda and ISIS against the homeland, stressing the need for thorough security measures.

Meanwhile, The Bulwark reports that a House Intelligence Committee bill, approved recently, would shift all United States counterintelligence efforts under Gabbards leadership, including oversight of the Federal Bureau of Investigations spy hunters. Critics worry this could reduce transparency and civil liberties protections, while supporters argue it strengthens national security against threats like Chinese espionage.

Gabbard continues to address these pressing issues amid heightened focus on immigration and intelligence coordination.
